What’s stopping me?

Posted on by philipdodson

I’m sitting here in the sun with a cup of tea, in my mind, I’m pondering the lack of time to do things that I used to, like my daily blog, my daily writing journal and my daily art.

Like we all do, I was excusing myself and making up all sorts of BS as to why I couldn’t do these things.

Instead, I just stopped the incessant scrolling on Instagram and Facebook and went to my Notes and started typing.

All that is stopping me is me and my thinking.

There is no shortage of time.

It’s what we choose to do in this moment right now that counts.

Out of the maze

It’s all very well having realisations and then talking about it, to talk about what you are going to change or do even better.

However, if the talking is not followed by action then we only destroy our internal integrity, which will cause us to lose faith in ourselves and will keep us stuck.

We will remain in the maze of suffering.

All we have to do is take a single step forward now…out of the maze and away from suffering.

We can either change something or change how we look at it. Both options require action now. There is a third choice…continue to suffer.
